G D Fdim A/E
the summer is here at last , the sky is overcast ,
Ddim A/C# Bm Bm/E E7
and no one brings a rose for emi – ly ,
G D Fdim A/E
she watches her flowers grow , while lovers come and go ,
Ddim A/C# Bm E7/D A
to give each other roses from her tree , but not a rose for emily!

A# F C#dim D
emily – – – – – – , can’t you see , there’s nothing you can do?
( emily , can’t you see , see – – – – – – – – how . . . )

Gdim D/F# Adim D D/C G
there’s loving everywhere , but none – – – – – – – for you – – – !
. . . the sun is shi – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – ning again , but not for you – – – – – ! )

G D Fdim A/E
her roses are fading now , she keeps her pride somehow ,
Ddim A/C# Bm Bm/E E7
that’s all she has pro – tecting her from pain ,
G D Fdim A/E
and , as the years go by , she will grow old and die ,
Ddim A/C# Bm7
the roses in her garden fade A – way ,
A/C# Bm7 E7/D A
not one left for her grave , not a rose for emily!

A# F C#dim D
